Social attention in the real world
I am interested in how people attend to the world around them. What grabs attention, and what impact does this have on other aspects of cognition? If we miss key information from our visual environments then our internal construct of the world will be less than optimal. My main interest lies in how people attend to others and use the verbal and non-verbal social cues they generate. I am interested in both how typically developing people attend to this information and how individuals with clinical and sub-clinical traits, such as autism and social anxiety, attend to this information. I use mobile and laboratory based eye-tracking technology to try to understand what guides attention.
The neural basis of social attention
I am interested in how the brain processes social cue information. I am currently using electroencephalography (EEG) equipment to find out how the brain responds during tasks which require participants to use social and non-social cues, such as eye-gaze direction and arrows. Individuals with autism fail to detect the social and communicative salience of others’ eyes and also use eye gaze cues in an atypical manner. This area of work aims to investigate whether the neural basis of these differences can be identified.
The expression of autism in rare genetic syndromes
Autism is an extremely heterogeneous condition. Some of this variability results from genetic heterogeneity. Some rare genetic conditions appear to have an increased prevalence of autism. We are currently investigating the phenotype of growth disorders with a known genetic cause, such as Sotos syndrome, Russell-Silver syndrome, Weaver syndrome and Tatton-Brown Rahman syndrome with the aim of improving understanding of both rare genetic conditions and autism.
